Well, this place was discovered by chance! Our target was an old prison that we knew was close by, but the aerial view from google led us astray to this asylum that we thought was abandoned.It wasn´t!! As soon as we approach the ruined building ,we hear someone shouting at us! He was a shepherd who lived there and had his sheep and goats!
At first he was nervous because we were there without permission and he didn't want us there, but then he calmed down and decided to let us take some pictures and told us the story of the place.
By this time we had already realized the mistake and that this was not the prison. It is an old asylum, which will soon be demolished to create a luxury hotel. This pastor was allowed by the owners to live there and take care of the place, and he has lived there for about 10 years. We thank him and promise not to reveal where this location is.
